Jim Lampley: Khan Has a Better chance of Beating Mayweather than Pacquiao does!

Your loyalty to Amir is admirable,but surely you can't compare him fighting Judah to fighting Mayweather?:huh

 

i've said this for a while now,people (esp clueless people) often laugh at khans chances against floyd,oscar showed how it could be done,khan is a lot fresher,all be it they arent the same stylistically,but i think khans faster,and could keep it up for the full 12,it would still be a long shot but out of anyone,i'd say khan

 

in 2012, no he doesnt.

In terms of ever ultimately being able to beat mayweather, well yeah he has a better chance only because hes so young. When khan is like 30 and mayweather is an old fart, he can probably beat mayweather.

In 2012, I would pick mayweather wide UD over Pac but Mayweather by TKO over khan

 

For all of his faults (and there are lots) Judah is still a fantastic counter-puncher, and was actually getting the better of Mayweather in this regard in their fight, until Floyd realised he would have a far easier time just walking him down.

Judah couldn't land anything significant at all on Khan when trying to counter him, and I don't believe it was due to him being shot like a lot of people would have you believe.

 

I know mate,but can you really compare them as opponents.I was bitterly disappointed Khan picked Judah,I thought it would be even easier than it was.Judah's comeback was a horrendous example of smoke and mirrors.
Judah's no Mayweather is all.:good

 

I don't know man, I thought Matthysse was a good win, even if it was really close (he actually beat him more convincingly than Alexander did anyway) :conf

I can agree with your last point though, haha

 

No.

 

Khan has moved up a lot in class and toughness to compete with the LWWs, beat Maidana, stop a washed up Judah ( not to mention MAB). Roach has done marvellous things with this guy but in my opinion he's not in the position to compete with the likes of Mayweather as yet cause he doesn't have enough competitive rounds with experienced fighters... Pacquiao has but then we all know a stiff jab and a fast right counter can damage anybody and Floyd has that. Remember Junior Jones counter right that put one unbeaten MAB ( with some 42 fights undefeated)? It's a stiff jab and a crisp, sharp right hand and timing and Pac may find what MAB found against Junior Jones back then.

 

Even with his so called improvements and his A game your hero Pac couldnt beat Marquez.

Floyd, who's a better counter puncher, has better defense, higher ring IQ, plus the much bigger reach will school the hell out your hero..Much worse than what Marquez did. :deal

Khan is fast and taller sure...But thats it...Floyd's much superior timing and technique will neutralize anything Khan brings to the table.

 

i gotta say. as crazy as it is.


i agree.

 

*****

 

i agree but who cares about his opinion on boxing...he dont even know whats going on in the ring

 

by no means, I meant in the sense that people would say Judah would easily counter Khan, but he didnt.

Obviously Floyd's countering ability shits all over Judahs, I was just making the point that Khan has quick feet as well as quick hands.

 

In Lampley's defence, he's not saying that Khan would beat Floyd, just that he has a better chance than Pac. Floyd would still be the overwhelming favourite against Amir.

 

I think khan has a better chance and will probably be the first to beat him due to both of their age. Khan only issue is what happens when he gets hit. He definately won't school mayweather but it will be more of a work rate thing.

With that being said. I'm picking mayweather.
